CAPE SHADE: ENGINEERING

Cape Shade has four in-house engineers (an additional student of structural engineering at University of Cape Town – Cape Shade Scholarship program) who apply their expertise in the strength of materials and in the seismic design of structures

Our Engineers apply the sciences of physics and mathematics to find suitable solutions to problems or to make improvements to the status quo. If multiple options exist, our engineers weigh different design choices on their merits and choose the solution that best matches the requirements. The crucial and unique task of our engineer is to identify, understand, and interpret the constraints on a design in order to produce a successful result

Our engineers use the latest in cutting edge technology to assist them with:

Structural Analysis

Form find the membranes

3D modeling of the structural detail

Produce shop drawings for manufacture

All these services are conducted in our engineering office at our head office in Cape Town.
